Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 2013: Reading Cells w/ Large Amounts of Data
As I understand it, a line of text is accessed only in the cell at its beginning. I can offer no diorect solution to your issue but I have a work around. Can you make a pdf of the spreadsheet? If so, JAWS reads pdf documents line by line, left to right if you have JAWS set up to read by line. The pdf will read the entire line. I use pdf's of Excel spreadsheets to read quickly, the spreadsheets themselves if I want to get specific. It would be ideal if you could get the writers of the spreadsheets you read to adopt a convention to begin text at a predefined column, though I realize the idea is not workable if the writer wants to explain a specific number while in the same cell. I will be interested to see if anyone else has a better idea. On 8/9/2014 1:19 AM, Bill Tipton (ML) wrote: Hello, I use Excel 2007 and Excel 2013 with the latest version of JAWS 15.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 2013: Reading Cells w/ Large Amounts of Data
I am using Excel 2013. My question has to do with Copying text and pasting into Excel. When I do that, Jaws 15 seems to lose focus and I have to arrow back through in order to focus back where Excel then speaks the columns again.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 2013: Reading Cells w/ Large Amounts of Data
I am using Excel2010 and JAWS 14 and this problem appears to have been addressed. I have the opposite problem. JAWS reads everything in the cell, even if it visually does not fit. So I frequently have to get sighted assistance at work to make my spreadsheets visually pleasing. I've looked through my Excel Verbosity settings and I cannot find anything that changes this. I think that it is a fix with how JAWS 14 interfaces with Excel2010. Sorry I cannot help you with Excel2007.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 using Jaws+Shift+S
Ken, I've run into a similar problem with the Insert+Shift+S command for Excel. I am using Windows7, Office 2010 and JAWS 14 on 3 different computers. Here is a summary: 1. Dell laptop the command works just fine. 2. Desktop computer unknown make command did not work and FS tech support walked me through a sequence to resolve the problem and the command has worked ever since. When using JAWS 12, the command was unpredictable and FS support could never resolve the problem. 3. Toshiba laptop, newest computer of the 3, and nothing seems to get the command to work. If you e-mail me at work I will send you the instructions that resolved the problem on the desktop.

Jaws+Shift+ not working I have Jaws 15 install currently with Windows 7 64 bit and Office 2007 professional. I have been recently trying to get the command Jaws+Shift+S to use the dialog box to manage worksheet in Excel 2007. I have try numerous approaches to resolving the issue. I have talk to tech support with no solution as well. A week ago the command worked and the next day it did not. I cannot find anything in the history of changes to Jaws as well. The sister command Ctrl+Shift+S works and if I stroke Jaws +shift+S it states only one Jaws dialog box can be open at a time. Thus I close the move to dialog box and try the manage worksheet box and nothing. I have countless messed with the keyboard manager and it seems as if Jaws adds a click noise at the end of the reading of the command. Does this indict an error of sorts? Finally I reroute PC to Jaws and press page down and arrow up to try to right click the sheet but I am only hearing the cell numbers. I have also tried ribbon commands I have Googled. Oh also totally uninstalled JAWS 13-15 with shared components and have tried to total uninstall office 2007 but it seems as it did not truly uninstall based on recent document history and outlook settings still here. any ideas? Anything that can restore things even if I have to burn down the crop to replant.

Tab to OK and press enter key to complete the process. Second method: I think the following will also work in Excel 2007. 1. Press function key 6 until the status bar is reached. 2. Use right arrow key across the status bar until the Page Layout button is found and press spacebar. This changes the view to page layout. 3. Press F6 until back in the main part of the worksheet and move focus to cell A1. 4. Route JAWS cursor to PC cursor and use up arrow key until you hear JAWS say something like click to add header or click to add footer. 5. Press the home key and check to see if focus is on the letter C of the word click. Do a single left mouse button click on that character. 6. Focus will move to the middle of three sections that a person gets when creating a custom header through the page layout dialog box. Read the current position of the cursor by using Alt+delete, and it should be on pixel 466 if using Excel 2010 defaults or something similar in Excel 2007. If you tab and check the position, it should be at 800 and something or close to that pixel range. If you shift+tab from the middle position, the cursor will go to 100 and some pixels. The point is that there are three sections, one on the left, one in the middle and one on the right for the header. 7. You can type what you want in any of those sections. 8. The header or footer design tab will also be added to the ribbon. Use Alt key and find the design tab. Use tab key to move to choices on the lower part of the ribbon for designing the header or footer. You will have similar options as those mentioned above

I am using Excel 2010. There might definitely be some differences between the accessing of header and footer information, but I thought I would send you steps that work in Excel 2010 and you can check to see if the process is similar in Excel 2007. In the following steps, I get to the dialog box to use by going into sheet options under the page layout tab of the ribbon. If I remember correctly, you might need to go under page layout tab and find the button for launching the page setup dialog box. If you bring up the page layout dialog then you can go to the header/footer tab and follow the steps quite similarly from that point. After I show the steps used in Excel 2010, I am going to include another method that might also work in Excel 2007. First method: 1. In Excel 2010, use Alt followed by P followed by S followed by O to bring up the sheet options. In Excel 2007, you might need to go under page layout tab and find the button for Page Setup. Use spacebar on that button. 2. Use CTRL+tab key until the Header/Footer tab is reached. 3. If you tab across this page of the dialog box, you will find two combo boxes from which you can choose a built-in header or footer. Use up or down arrow key in those boxes to make your choice. 4. As you tab in this page of the dialog, you will find buttons for setting up a customized header or footer. Press spacebar to use the appropriate choice. 5. If you choose the button for creating a customized header, use tab key across the dialog box that results after using spacebar on the button. You will find a left, center and right section that can be filled in with text you want to include or with available field codes in the dialog box. 6. Fill in the information you want used in the appropriate location. You can use Alt+L to move into the left section, Alt+R to move into the right section, and Alt+C to move into the middle section. 7. With focus in the left, center or right sections, you can use Alt+U to insert the code for current page, Alt+T to insert the code for pages, Alt+D to insert a code for the date, Alt+M to insert a code for the Alt+time, P to insert the path and file name, Alt+E to insert just the Alt+file name, and Alt+A to insert a tab. You can also press Alt+F to bring up the font dialog box if you want to change the font or font attributes. When focus is in any of the three sections, you can press Alt+I to bring up the Insert Picture dialog box if you want to insert a picture. 8. Tab to OK and press enter key to close the header or footer dialog box and return to the page setup box. 9. If you want to use a different first page then tab to the checkbox and check it by using spacebar. You can tab and make other choices in this dialog box as well. 10. Tab to OK and press enter key to complete the process. Second method: I think the following will also work in Excel 2007. 1. Press function key 6 until the status bar is reached. 2. Use right arrow key across the status bar until the Page Layout button is found and press spacebar. This changes the view to page layout. 3. Press F6

In either case, you might need to work a little with such things as column width, row height, line spacing, printing portrait or landscape, etc. You want to allow enough room for people to write what is needed, so Shari's tip about the double spacing for rows is a good one. There are other things to consider in thinking about the spacing such as how many points is Word using after each paragraph mark, font size and appearance and so forth.

Route JAWS cursor to PC cursor and use up arrow key until you hear JAWS say something like click to add header or click to add footer. 5. Press the home key and check to see if focus is on the letter C of the word click. Do a single left mouse button click on that character. 6. Focus will move to the middle of three sections that a person gets when creating a custom header through the page layout dialog box. Read the current position of the cursor by using Alt+delete, and it should be on pixel 466 if using Excel 2010 defaults or something similar in Excel 2007. If you tab and check the position, it should be at 800 and something or close to that pixel range. If you shift+tab from the middle position, the cursor will go to 100 and some pixels. The point is that there are three sections, one on the left, one in the middle and one on the right for the header. 7. You can type what you want in any of those sections. 8. The header or footer design tab will also be added to the ribbon. Use Alt key and find the design tab. Use tab key to move to choices on the lower part of the ribbon for designing the header or footer. You will have similar options as those mentioned above, such as starting on a different page one, adding codes for page number, total pages, etc. 9. When done working with the three sections of the header, use the escape key to move back to the main working area of the spreadsheet. 10. With focus in cell A1, you can route JAWS to PC and use up arrow to find the information you added as a header. Put PC cursor back on if you do that check. 11. If you want to work in normal view, press F6 to move to the status bar, use right or left arrow key to find the button for the normal
Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 Filtering
Filtering on a single column is fairly easy. First, use either the virtual ribbon or the old menus to navigate to the sort and filter selections. One of these is the filter button. Select this (press return) and JAWS will ad the phrase autofilter on to the column headings in your table. Next, move down through the column you want to filter (country) until you find the value you are interested in. You can either use arrow keys or the find command. When you are on a cell with the value you want, press the applications key. One of the options is something like filter on the value in this cell. Press enter and your table will be filtered. The application key also has a clear option to undo the filter when you want.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 problem
Hello Mike, Here is what your friend can try to remove merging from all pairs of merged cells: 1. Select the range of cells starting with the first merged pair through and including the last merged pair. If the range is a10 through a100 then use CTRL+G, type in a10:a100 and press enter key. 2. Use CTRL+1 to open the Format Cells dialog box. 3. Move to the alignment page tab by using CTRL+Tab key. 4. Use tab key until the checkbox for merging cells is selected and use spacebar to remove the checkmark. Be sure to use spacebar until JAWS says that the checkbox is not checked. For some reason, I have had to press spacebar a couple times to get the checkmark removed. 5. use tab key to the OK button and press enter key. 6. Move to a10 and use down arrow key to make sure that merging has been removed. I am not sure what caused the merging of the pairs of cells. If one pair gets merged and then a range of cells gets selected and a function like filling cells down the range happens then this might have been the result. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007: stocks with dividendss
Hi all, I would like to thank list members for giving me the tools to copy this info into Excel 2007 using Jaws11 and Excel 2007. I copied pages 1 through 4 from following site: http://www.dividenddetective.com I then copied table info into an excel spreadsheet and you might want to sort descending on returns to get highest paying stock with dividends. Remember if dividends are so high it might be likely that the company will cut its dividend rate or not pay the dividend at all. Dividends depend on company's earnings. Do your own analysis but most blue chip stocks are usually safer. I know that many were interested in financial info so I just created this spreadsheet. The last column which is e, I computed the closing effective 6/30/10 based on the formula. Remember stock prices and dividends change daily depending on financial news. I did try to include the header so that when you navigate from cell or row the title will automatically read regardless of speech software. I hope it worked.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 and jaws problem
Charleen, with some versions of Jaws, you need to use Alt Left arrow, right arrow, up and down arrows. It seems that when you press the Alt key along with the navigation keys, it releases the cursor from that cell and allows it to move on. Using those keys without the Alt key moves the cursor within the cell. That isn't usually an issue unless you have a large cell which may need editing.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 How do I edit a chart title?
Hello Perry, There might be an easier method for renaming charts in Excel 2007, but the way I have found to do it is shown below. For a chart separate from sheets: 1. Move focus to the chart by using CTRL+page up or CTRL+page down. 2. There should be three tabs added at the right end of the top part of the ribbon. Press Alt key to move to the ribbon and then right arrow key to the layout tab. 3. Use tab key to move to the bottom part of the ribbon. 4. Use tab key until you get to the properties button and press enter key. You will get to the properties button faster if you use shift+tab until you are past the office button and the buttons on the quick access toolbar. The properties button is at the far right end of the lower part of the ribbon. 5. Type in the new name for the chart and press enter key. 6.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 problem
I have not run into this lately, but I did have this problem 20 years ago when I was working on SDI (Reagan's Star Wars). The simulation calculations were very complex and the computers were very slow. We later used a APL minicomputer specialized for massive matrix calculations. In Excel there is a way to turn off automatic calculation. Usually Excel recalculates the entire workbook every time a new entry is entered into a cell. You can turn this off in the Excel Settings under the Formulas tab. There used to be a key to press to have Excel perform the calculation on demand. I can not recall the key stroke off the top of my head. Maybe, someone else on the list knows the answer to this? This would allow you to enter all your data without delay!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 problem
Don, I had not considered turning off the auto calculation feature and that worked. There are no delays when entering my data. the key to calculate manually is F9. Thanks a lot. This will make things faster for me...I just have to remember to hit F9 before printing out my results.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel 2007 problem
I haven't worked in such a complex work book, so perhaps the complexity might be the problem. If you are needed to enter data in a new worksheet, perhaps you could use a plain new workbook, and then merge it with the existing one.
